Description

Towing Academy – Level 1

In Level 1, we cover the essential safety protocols every tow truck driver must know. You’ll receive a clear introduction to industry safety standards and best practices to help you avoid accidents and operate with confidence.

We also provide a guided tour of a rollback truck, showing you how it works and how to operate it properly. In addition, you’ll learn about the main equipment used on a rollback truck and how to use it safely and efficiently.
This level is ideal for drivers who already have general driving experience but are new to towing.
By the time you reach an interview with a towing company, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to stand out and be better prepared than other candidates.
